This is correct. Dim-dip are not legal in many countries, it must be dipped headlamps on normal intensity. I expect it may happen in the UK soon thanks to the EU bureaucrats.

Regarding H7 bulbs, for my business I buy various automotive sundries from D.S. Beal supplies in Morley (in Leeds) via mail order. Amongst their product catalogue is pretty much every automotive bulb known to man and a 10-pack (smallest quantity they do of any bulb) of H7's is just £9.95 +vat. The quality of all their bulbs is outstanding and none of the bulbs I've ever used from them have needed replacing as yet.

Maybe someone should contact them and add them to the list of suppliers? They do all manner of workshop supplies and consumables.

Beal (UK) Ltd can be contacted on 0113 2538888

Slightly off topic (i think that most people know my opinion of DRL from other threads..)

Max, now I know what VSIB is, but what does it do?

Chat later

Nothing nasty, just very curious.....
